She therefore seldom counsels you

THE MCDONALD CASE.
Defendant Applies for AlimOny
and Expenses.

SAN Francisco, September 10
There was filed in Department 8 OF
the Superior Court this afternoon the
complaint of MIS-. Clara Belle Nc
Donald against her husband, r. H..
Mcdonald, Jr. After reciting certain
facts in connection with the well
known divorce suit brought against
her by her husband, who is Vice
President of the Pacific Bank, she
proceeds to aver that she is helpless to
protect herself against the power, in
fluence and wealth of her said hus-
band and to properly defend the suit
for divorce unless the court compels
the plaintiff to pay to her a sum suffi-
ciut to put the affiant on an equal
footing with the plaintiff.
WHAT SHE WANTS.
Mrs. Mcdonald, therefore, prays for
an order requiring her husband to pay
to her the sum of $500 per month or
such sum as the court may deem
proper for the support of the afliant
and offspring of plaintiff and aiiiant
from the commencement of said action
until the same shall terminate and a
further sum of $2500 counsel fees for
further proceedings and $4,000 for other
expenses in said suit.

Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald
WILMNGToN, o., September 15.-
Senator John Sherman delivered his
first speech in the Ohio campaign, be-
fore large audience at the Faii
Grounds this afternoon. Referring tc
the claims of the political journals
who are protesting against both the
National parties, and notably the
Prohibition and Labor organizations,
he said that while by their zeal they
often compel attention to just measures
and reform they usually succeed only
in defeating the party not in sympathy
with them. This has been the effect
and still is the tendency of the Pro-
hibition party.
WILL HELP THE LABOR PARTY.
Regarding the Labor party he SAID
that ii there is any just and practical
measure of public policy that will tend
to advance the interests of labor, the
Republican party is now, and has
been ready and willing to adopt it.
